Description

Red Wine: 2019 | Laurent Ponsot | Gevrey Chambertin En Ergot Cuvee du Meleze (Magnum)

Elegant wine. Fine balanced Red. The wine has a lovely richness and more ripeness than the other Ponsot offerings seem to have. It possesses an impressive density of dark plummy fruit and plenty of tannins, without losing the hallmark, beautiful purity of the Ponsot wines. Definitely worth tasting!

Reviews:

• Decanter: Gevrey En Ergot was among the recent purchases of this domaine. The parcel is located in a well-placed section, carved out of La Petite Chapelle, which is downslope from Chapelle-Chambertin. The wine has a lovely richness and more ripeness than the other Ponsot offerings seem to have. It possesses an impressive density of dark plummy fruit and plenty of tannins, without losing the hallmark, beautiful purity of the Ponsot wines.

• Allen Meadows: here are again plenty of floral elements present on the earthy black raspberry-suffused nose. The succulent and rounded middle weight flavors possess a beguiling texture along with mineral hints while displaying focused power on the noticeably firmer and youthfully austere but not really rustic finale.

Producer Information

After 36 years at Domaine Ponsot, Laurent Ponsot left the family domaine in February of 2017 to pursue a new wine adventure. He is joined in this new endeavor by his son, Clément, whose excitement for winemaking is as strong as his own, while his other two children, Claire and Nicolas, also hold shares in the company. Embodying his pioneering spirit, the company is named after Laurent himself who values humility, respects nature, and enjoys above all else the great pleasure of winemaking. Laurent’s resolute quest for an alliance between history and innovation continues, and he will retain all of the fruits of his past research, such as the perfect closure, élevage without sulfur but under neutral gas, temperature-controlled “intelligent cases”, and the protection of authenticity. Through these innovations, his goal, as always, will be to provide consummate, authentic examples of great Burgundy wines.
